This was amazingly easy! I was worried I couldn't pull it off, but it really came out beautifully. I probably could have cooked it another minute or two, had a little trouble with the crust sliding off the "petals". It was yummy and the dip was right on the nose. The whole family enjoyed it!

What a great recipe...Much better than Outbacks to us !!! Not greasy or oily .Sauce was delicious..Made 2 the first try. The gallon of oil was expensive, but i am straining and saving for next time. Good Job also with the exacting directions. I really appreciated that.

Very good! The sauce was my favorite part. The onion didn't cook very evenly (probably my fault all in all very tasty!

The sauce is excellent! I use a little less of some things and a little more of others due to personal taste. I also make onion petals instead of the blooming onion but with the same ingrediants. I agree that the onions should soak in milk or buttermilk first and let it rest in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes after double coating with the flour mixture. This came out better than our favorite restaurant makes them!! Thanks so much!!

Absolutely wonderful. I followed the recipe to the tee with the exception of soaking the onion in milk prior to the first dip in the flour. It was a little painstaking to get the flour between the petals so it didn't just form clumps. After the recoating of flour, I let it sit in the fridge for about 15 min. I believe this causes the mixture to more or less form a batter which helps it stick to the onion itself. Who needs to go out when you can make this at home!! Thank you FNK!!!

Made this recipe twice today, because the first try was a failure on my part, second time turned out much better. Here's my problem there; probably a technique issue...When i place the onion in the fryer the majority of the coating comes right off, also the coating that remains doesn't seem to stick to the onion after cooking, and I was for the most part just eating slices of fried onion with the dipping sauce. Any recommendations or ideas on how to keep the coating on, and have it come out like the picture? Besides my little issue it turned out great; side note to any future reviewers...if it comes out poorly...its your fault, not the recipies...stop giving poor reviews because you did something wrong, or replaced some ingredients with your own ideas and it turned out badly...giving a recipe 1 star because you screwed up is basically saying you are bad at following directions.

Who needs Outback...when you can eat In-Front of your Kitchen!! Im a HUGE Bloomin' Onion fun......now I can have it at home.

This recipe is easy to follow and understand. I had so much fun making it. The sauce is just like the one at Outback, I made extra to dip my fries in. Be sure to cut the onion all the way through, or it wont fan out like it should. Its easy to fry and fun to eat. I made 2 the first time, because my husband ate 1 all by himself.
Thanks FNM, another winner!!
